Description
Soft, chewy peanut butter oatmeal cookies sweetened with honey and banana and laced with dark chocolate chips, these cookies will win over your heart in more ways than one.
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons grass fed butter, softened
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 very ripe banana, mashed
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup Benefiber + 1/4 cup oat fiber (or an additional 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour)
- 1/4 cup flax meal
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 cup oat bran or old fashioned oatmeal
- 1/2 – 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar, then mix in the rest of the wet ingredients until well mixed.
- Add the rest of ingredients except the chocolate chips and stir to mix. Let sit for 10 – 15 minutes to let the oats absorb the liquid. While the dough is resting, preheat the oven to 350 F and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Stir in the chocolate chips. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop dough onto the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake at 350 F. for about 15 minutes or until lightly browned on the edges. Remove from oven. Let sit on the tray for 5 – 10 minutes before eating … or moving to a baking rack to cool.
Notes
Dough can be refrigerated to allow for hot, fresh cookies anytime! Scoop and bake for 15 – 18 minutes.
